Rye is on the A259 between Hastings to the west and Folkestone / Dover to the east. From the north take Junction 5 (A21) off the M25. Continue on the A21 then at the Flimwell crossroads, take the A268 towards Hawkhurst and follow the signs to Rye. Visit http://www.theaa.com/route-planner/ for more details.

CAR PARKS

Rye has a number of public car parks but they can get very busy at the weekends and in the tourist season. On street parking is very limited in terms of time and availability. The Gibbets Marsh car park on the edge of town (B2089 Battle road) probably offers the best overall capacity for the day visitor. The Rail Station car park is more central and also a good option and cheaper for all day parking (note: it is closed on Thursday – market day in Rye). See http://en.parkopedia.co.uk/parking/rye_east_sussex/ for more details.

Rye is rightly famous for its cobbled streets in the Citadel. However, they can be quite treacherous for the unwary. Clients should ensure they have appropriate footwear and take care when walking on the cobbles, particularly in wet weather, when the cobbles can become very slippy.
